What power supply do you reccomend for a Asus STRIX gtx 980 graphics card?

I am having trouble finding the perfect power supply that will go with my gtx 980 STRIX. What do you guys reccomend?

It's a single video card to btw. NOT dual cards just to clarify. Looking for something around 1000 watts though just in case I get another.

You do NOT need a 1000w PSU. You could get by with a 500w but 600w is a good spot with some breathing room and space for a future upgrade.

Three 2 choose from will all run your future SLI.

750W is plenty for SLI.

Any decent 500W+ PSU will run the card great and have room to spare for an overclock.

I would pick one of these three PSUs (nonmodular, semi modular, fully modular) if planning to use a single 980, all have good build quality:

edit: The 750W EVGA B2 is also great for $60 after rebate in blackbird's post and allows for sli.
